Judi Dench Is a royal pleasure, but the film-a shallow look at Queen Victoria's friendship with an Indian Muslim clerk- fails to examine complicated cultural, historical questions.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

It's James Bond on laughing gas and too much of everything. Those who hated the first film will be double irritated. Screw 'em. True Kingsman fans will appreciate that the sequel lays on the violence, sex and politics three times thicker. &dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Kudos to a brilliant, hilariously unexpected performance from Jake Gyllenhaal in a powerhouse biopic about Boston bombing victim Jeff Bauman that doesn't sugarcoat the man's story - and that makes all the difference&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Jolie is often patronized as a humanitarian who makes worthy films to rouse an indifferent public, like that's a bad thing. It also denies the visceral impact and artful shape of her work. 'First They Kill' is a labor of love. &dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Aronofsky's visionary biblical allegory always seems on the verge of exploding. Lawrence, Bardem and an Oscar-caliber Pfeiffer are all on fire. Love it or loathe it, the film is an artist's cry from his own corrupt heart. You won't know what hit you. &dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Reynolds and Jackson make this summer lunacy go down easy with their banter and bullet-dodging skills. They're the only reason this R-rated action comedy doesn't sink into the generic quicksand from whence it came.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Soderbergh's return to features is a redneck riff on his Ocean's 11, a cool breeze of summertime sweetness that restores the good name of movie escapism. Daniel Craig is off-the-chain hilarious.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Not even an A-list cast can turn this coming-of-age misfire-a total misreading of The Graduate from screenwriter Allan Loeb- into anything more than a losing battle against tin-eared dialogue.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Matt Spicer's social media satire is a bonbon spiked with wit and malice. Plaza and Olsen, both toxic perfection, show us a nightmare world of Insta-obsessives that's all too recognizable as our own.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Propelled by a Rob Pattinson tour de force, this Safdie brothers fireball rips through 100 minutes of screen time like Wile E. Coyote with his tail on fire. It comes at you hard so you remember.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Directorial debut of 'Sicario' screenwriter Taylor Sheridan turns the story of a tracker, a Fed and a dead Native-American girl into a sharp social commentary that knocks you for a loop. &dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

So much is so wrong about this stunted film version of Stephen King's marvelously dense and dazzling series of eight novels, that all I can say is this unholy mess shouldn't happen to a King, much less a paying customer.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Truth to Power sprawls when it most needs to focus, diluting the power punch of the original with too much bobbing and weaving. But it's hard to argue that the crusade isn't still vital.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Director Bigelow and screenwriter Boal take the Detroit race riots of half a century ago and create a hardcore masterpiece that digs into our violent past to hold up a dark mirror to the systemic racism that still rages in the here and now. &dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

The Oscar race for Best Picture is officially on. From first frame to last, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is a monumental achievement, a World War II epic of staggering visual spectacle (see it in IMAX if you can) that hits you like a shot in the heart. &dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Alternately child-like and artful, A Ghost Story holds you in thrall - get into Lowery's rhythms and the movie will touch you deeply. The minimalist performances of Affleck and Mara are mesmerizing &dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Edgar Wright's start to finish sensation is blessed with killer car chases, a star-making turn from Ansel Elgort, the year's best soundtrack and the most fun you'll have at the movies all summer.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Sofia Coppola is a virtuoso of image and sound. but don't mistake her delicate touch for weakness. The Beguiled is a hothouse flower of startling power and intimacy. You can't shake it.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Comic Kumail Nanjiani and his wife/co-screenwriter Emily V. Gordon carve this heartfelt love story out of her health crisis and their own culture-clash relationship. Not just the funniest romcom in ages, it's one of 2017's best films.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Every time Michael Bay directs another Transformers abomination (this is the fifth), the movies die a little. This one makes the summer's other blockbuster misfires look like masterpieces.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Even in this mess of conflicting ideas, you still get a sense of the childlike wonder that drives Treverrow to tell stories. It's a rare gift, and something to help him survive calamitous setbacks like this one.&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

You want horror that screws with your head? This is your ticket, a haunting story of two families surviving the postapocalypse proves there's a major new filmmaking talent in town, Trey Edward Shults&dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT

Brad Pitt pushes the role of a rogue general too far into caricature and defangs the film by forgetting that world leaders and policy wonks don't mean a thing if they're not flesh and blood. &dash; Rolling Stone - EDIT
